B. Boat Maintenance

(1) The only routine maintenance is lubrication of the pulleys and general

cleaning. But, also refer to the Electrical section of this guide for information

on charging the batteries.

(a) Once a year, oil each pulley with light oil. Oil the pulleys for the

daggerboard cable, the pulleys on the mast and boom, and the pulleys for

the main sheet and jib sheets. Just a drop of oil at the axle of each pulley

is enough. More just makes a mess. Use a rag to wipe off extra oil.

(b) The exterior of the boat can be washed with any mild detergent, such as

car washing soap or hand dishwashing soap. It can also be waxed if you

like, but don’t wax any surfaces you will walk on.

(d) Sails can be washed using mild detergents. We recommend washing sails

in a bathtub or the like. Don’t wash them in a washing machine. A

washing machine can damage the fabric, causing the sail to lose its shape.

(2) If cold weather is expected, drain the water from the systems on the boat:

(a) Drain the water from the fresh-water system and operate the fresh water

pump to remove any remaining water from it.

(b) Drain the water from the clean water tank of the Porta-Potti. The dirty

water tank should already be empty! You don’t want to leave dirty water

in the Porta-Potti.

(3) If you get water in the interior of the boat, do these steps to remove it.

(a) If your boat is out of the water, then remove the drain plug and tilt the boat

up a little at the bow.

(b) If your boat is in the water, then pump and sponge the water out of the

boat.

trapped. Sponge the water out of these locations. If you don’t sponge the

water out of these locations, it may leak onto the cabin floor from around

the daggerboard trunk. This water is NOT leaking from outside the boat.

Refer to Figure 9-2.
